Standing Up for Your Values

It’s easy to stand up for principles or values when it’s in the abstract. But what happens when it really costs you?

We all get busy and procrastinate on some things, even if it is just once in a while. And some people procrastinate a lot. Most of those people think things “happen to them.” They give no thought into what they might be doing to create that reality. Because of course, taking no action, is always an action in and of itself.

The Future of Your Future

How much do you really think about your future? And what excites you the most about the possibilities?

Your Sacred Circle of People

But if you demonstrate that you really want and can handle the truth – and really do attract some people into this “sacred circle” of those around you – it will be one of the most rewarding experiences in your life.

Finding Purpose and Meaning in Your Life

I’ve spent the better part of 30 years exploring this path and the rewards it holds for us. So while I don’t have everything figured out, please allow me to share some of the lessons I’ve learned, in the pursuit of becoming a more enlightened person:

Making the Difficult Choices

This path isn’t for everyone. But I honestly believe it’s the only way we become the highest possible version of ourselves. The only way we move from success to significance; and live a life of purpose and meaning.

The Avoidance Path

In actuality, there are millions of people who have decided that enjoyment, distraction, and entertainment is enough. The rigors of introspection, critical thinking and self-examination are too much to endure. So they choose a life of continuous distraction.

Gangs, Religions and Cults

Whether you join MS-13, the Moonies, or Catholicism, you’re buying a turnkey franchise for what to think. Members can submerge their critical thinking ability and identity, choosing to defer to an institution they feel can safely handle those functions for them.
